28: Chapter 28 What do you want to do to my sister?

"Regarding this Chen Ping, have you looked into his background?"

"Is there anyone named Chen Ping in the Alliance database with such high strength?"

Minister Jiang Tianhai looked up at Fang Bin.

The Alliance's functions were comparable to an official institution managing the affairs of mages and ordinary people.

They held information on almost everyone in the country.

This kind of investigation was a piece of cake for them.

"I've checked, but I found nothing."

"Forget high-tier mages, there isn't even anyone by that name among ordinary people."

"This name doesn't even belong to our continent."

Fang Bin answered truthfully.

"So, he's from another continent? Could he be a fugitive criminal?"

Vice Minister Wei Rujun speculated.

"Hard to say. If he really were a criminal, he wouldn't act this way."

"Especially with strength so great that even Manager Fang can't see through him, he could easily enslave everyone in a remote town. There's no need for him to hide his head and show his tail."

A man with a full beard spoke up.

He was one of the three deputy managers under Fang Bin, named Zhao Chaoyang.

"Hmm. Regardless of the truth, we mustn't alert the enemy. We can't let him sense our suspicion."

"The priority is to find out his true realm."

Old Wang said in a heavy voice, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"We can only wait for the next time he comes to the Alliance and find a way to test him."

"Before we figure out his true purpose, the fact that he can produce void stones alone is enough to prove his strength cannot be underestimated."

"As long as we offer a generous enough reward, we can completely win him over to work for us."

"Furthermore, from now on, everyone is forbidden from leaving the city."

"Zhao Chaoyang, Wei Rujun, each of you take an Alliance adventure team to patrol the border area outside the city and watch for any abnormalities."

"Magical beasts below the mutant grade can be ignored, but if you find anything suspicious, report back immediately."

Minister Jiang Tianhai gave orders in an orderly fashion.

"Understood!"

Zhao Chaoyang and Vice Minister Wei Rujun responded in unison.

"The rest of you, return to your regular duties."

...

"Brother, let's go play that one next!"

"Brother, let's take a photo together, okay?"

"Aaaah... Brother, this haunted house is too scary!"

Lin Duo pulled Lin Fan's hand, weaving through the crowd, playing one amusement project after another.

Not long ago.

A mage had reported that there might be a magical beast hidden in this theme park.

Because of this, the park had been closed for quite a while.

After an investigation lasting over a year.

The staff finally found the so-called 'magical beast'... it turned out to be a tri-colored rabbit.

Once the truth came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That tri-colored rabbit had already been captured and taken away by adventurers, and the Alliance confirmed there were no other signs of magical beasts in the park.

Only then was the theme park able to reopen.

For the residents of Baiyun City, this was a major event.

Coinciding with the weekend, almost everyone rushed over to play.

The park was packed with people, more lively than ever before!

"That ride just now was so much fun!"

Lin Duo gripped Lin Fan's hand tightly, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she smiled.

They had just come off a thrilling amusement ride.

However, Lin Fan felt...

That the ride was slow and boring.

It was no wonder.

He was now at the late stage of a Tier 2 Mage, only 200 experience points away from becoming a Tier 3 Mage.

How could an amusement ride that couldn't even match his own speed possibly feel exciting to him?

But seeing his sister playing so happily, Lin Fan felt happy as well.

He didn't refuse any project his sister chose, accompanying her and having a great time.

The park's ticket prices were very cheap; 20 yuan could buy dozens of tickets.

The siblings were having the time of their lives.

"Where do you want to go next?"

Lin Fan asked while looking around the crowd.

But when he didn't hear an answer from his sister for a long time, he turned his head to look.

He saw Lin Duo staring fixedly at a spot nearby.

A group of children held giant cotton candies in their hands, and saliva was unconsciously dripping from the corner of her mouth.

She looked as if she were about to rush over and snatch the cotton candy away.

"Lin Duo?"

Lin Fan gently shook her hand, waking her from her daze.

"Ah? W-what's wrong?"

Lin Duo snapped back to her senses.

Realizing her loss of composure, she hurriedly turned her gaze away, her face flushing red.

Lin Fan was amused by her cute appearance.

"Do you want to eat cotton candy?"

Lin Fan asked with a smile.

Lin Duo lowered her head and shook it gently, not daring to look him in the eye.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's smile grew even more tender.

His sister was only fifteen, but she was exceptionally sensible.

She must feel that their family wasn't well-off.

Unable to bear spending more money on snacks, she pretended not to want it.

"Silly girl, wait here. Brother will go buy it for you."

Lin Fan gently rubbed her hair, careful not to mess up the hairstyle she had meticulously prepared.

With that, he walked toward the cotton candy stall.

Lin Duo was stunned and wanted to call him back, to tell him not to waste money.

But before the words could leave her mouth.

Lin Fan's figure had already disappeared into the crowd.

With no other choice, she had to stand obediently in place, waiting for her brother to return.

"Yo, yo, yo, look who it is. You've got quite the nerve, actually daring to show your face in public."

Just as Lin Duo was waiting expectantly.

A malicious voice suddenly came from behind her.

The theme park was noisy and extremely chaotic.

Under normal circumstances, sounds from even a short distance away couldn't be heard clearly.

But for some reason, this voice drilled clearly into Lin Duo's ears, and it sounded exceptionally familiar.

She slowly turned around, and what met her eyes were three girls about the same age as her.

They were wearing designer clothes.

In their hands, they held toys worth over a hundred tickets; they were clearly young ladies from wealthy families.

Seeing these three girls, Lin Duo's eyes widened suddenly, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

They were the Red-haired girl and her two lackeys who often bullied her at school.

Recently, the teachers at school had suddenly become very responsible.

They started minding the students' business.

So Lin Duo hadn't been bullied by them again.

But this wasn't school; no teacher would come to protect her here.

More importantly, she was here with her brother.

She had been desperately hiding the fact that she was being bullied because she was afraid her brother would worry.

She didn't want her brother to see her involved with these three pieces of trash.

"What should I do? Should I run?"

"But if I run, Brother will be worried if he can't find me..."

"Should I run home first and wait for Brother to come back?"

Lin Duo was anxious, racking her brains for a way to escape.

She had full confidence that she could run away without getting lost.

But what she feared more was that her brother would be worried sick if he couldn't find her when he returned.

She couldn't do that.

Just as Lin Duo was at a loss.
